A production Su-7BM was modified as a demonstrator, the "S-22I" -- with "I" standing for "izmenyayemaya" or "variable". NATO assigned the type the reporting name "Fitter-B",
- Su-17 : the first serial version. The Su-17 completely replaced the Su-7 on the production line in 1971, with a total of 224 built into 1973 -- presumably that total includes the two evaluation machines. The Su-17 was assigned the NATO reporting name of "Fitter-C".
- Su-17UM : Double seat combat training aircraft, equipped with avionics, used on the Su-17M2; the prototype appeared in 1975, serial production was carried out in 1976-78; the design of the aircraft served as the basis for the creation of the Su-17M3;
- Su-17UM-3 "Fitter-G": an improved version of the aircraft "Fitter-E", which retained its combat power; with a large dorsal leg, an increased fuel reserve, a higher keel with a square end and sometimes with a small (removable) ventral fin.
- Su-17M-1 "Fitter-H": single-seat version of the Fitter aircraft, including improvements introduced on the Fitter-G model, with improved aviation electronic equipment, including compatibility with anti-radar missiles; some equipped with a large outer gondola with multi-sensitive elements; used as reconnaissance aircraft.
- A total of 268 Su-17M2s Fitter-D was produced from 1974 into 1979. A number of them were built as "Su-17M2R" reconnaissance platforms, where "R" stood for "razvedchik (reconnaissance)". The Su-17M2R carried a centerline KKR-1 reconnaissance pod,
- Su-17M-3 "Fitter-H": almost identical to the Su-17M-1; has new special underwing pylons for air-to-air missiles; equipped with significantly improved aviation electronic equipment.
- Su-17M-4 "Fitter-K": the latest version, combining advanced aviation electronic equipment with a more powerful cooling system, which gives an external distinctive feature of this type - an air intake on the front edge of the keel root; The aircraft is compatible with the same gondola with sensitive elements for reconnaissance and anti-radar weapons as the Fitter-H version.
